Is there a way to look for a word on a page using Greasemonkey, and if that word appears anywhere on the page, either display a message box, that the user has to click OK, or just redirect to another page instantly?

how about

JS code:

---

if (/someword/m.test(document.body.innerText)) alert("OMFG")

---

Well, I've managed to come up with this, although it spams the alert for every instance of the word. How could I make it only alert once?

js code:

---

    // ==UserScript==
    // @name          Alert
    // @namespace    --
    // @description   Alert
    // @include   *
     
    // ==/UserScript==
     
    (function() {
     
    const WORD = {
      "test": {"color": "red"},
    };
     
    function highlightText() {
     
      var allTextNodes = document.evaluate('//text()', document, null,
                                           XPathResult.ORDERED_NODE_SNAPSHOT_TYPE,
                                           null);
     
      for (var i = 0; i < allTextNodes.snapshotLength; i++) {
        var ele = allTextNodes.snapshotItem(i);
        for (var key in WORD) {
       
          if (ele.nodeValue.toLowerCase().indexOf(key) != -1) {
            var span = document.createElement("span");
            ele.parentNode.replaceChild(span, ele);
            span.appendChild(ele);
       
            for (var css in WORD[key]) {
              span.style[css] = WORD[key][css];
              alert("test");
         
            }
          }
        }
      }
    }
     
      highlightText();
    })();

To prevent alert spamming you could just build in a variable in place of the alert that is changed to 1 when a word is found, then after the search has been made, check the variable, if = 1, alert...

js code:

---

    // ==UserScript==
    // @name          Alert
    // @namespace     http://sammyservers.com
    // @description   Alert
    // @include   *
     
    // ==/UserScript==
     
    (function() {
     
    const WORD = {
      "test": {"color": "red"},
    };
   
    //build in the global variable...
    var j = 0;
     
    function highlightText() {
     
      var allTextNodes = document.evaluate('//text()', document, null,
                                           XPathResult.ORDERED_NODE_SNAPSHOT_TYPE,
                                           null);
     
      for (var i = 0; i < allTextNodes.snapshotLength; i++) {
        var ele = allTextNodes.snapshotItem(i);
        for (var key in WORD) {
       
          if (ele.nodeValue.toLowerCase().indexOf(key) != -1) {
            var span = document.createElement("span");
            ele.parentNode.replaceChild(span, ele);
            span.appendChild(ele);
       
            for (var css in WORD[key]) {
              span.style[css] = WORD[key][css];
              //changes the global variable to 1
              j = 1;         
            }
          }
        }
      }
    }
      highlightText();
      if(j = 1){
        alert("test");
      }
    })();

Oh yeah, don't know why I didnt think of doing that. Thanks a lot.

IF anyone has any suggestions on how to search for the word outside of the page source, I would be highly grateful.

Well, this is for a friend of mine, and its for a game called Pokemon battle arena. He wants it to alert him when the word "shiny" is found in the page, but since this isnt hardcoded, and the URL has a random set of arguments for each pokemon encounter, I was wondering if there would be a way to scan the page body, even if the word wasnt in the source.

Ah, I've just taken a look at the game. I see what you mean about it not actually being in the source, but I can see where the text is meant to appear in the source, it's just been hidden. Hmm... I'm not too sure at the moment, if I think of a method I'll let you know.

just to make sure i'm getting this right, this is where the "shiny whatever" will appear?

Yes, it will say Shiny in the section with the level and pokemon, and IIRC, it even says, "Wild Shiny Appeared".

Slightly offtopic, but Jimbo: Your site has been very well designed and implemented. Did you code it all yourself? It's very clean, efficient and problem-free. If I didn't get ridiculous pings to UK servers I'd play yours.

You think so? really? A friend of mine did the basic design, with the one simple theme, then I added all the content and different themes myself. I personally don't like it much, but hey, it gets the job done for what it has to do.

Well, I've looked a bit into how the page handles those shiny things and came up with a script that should show an alert when a shiny pokemon is found. But I can't figure out how to get it working in this hackish greasemonkey piece of shit, I can't get it to replace the state_change_navi function with my modified one. But you get the idea. (this script works as a UserJS in Opera btw)

Of course I can't say this will work 100% because I haven't come across a shiny pokemon, but if you take a look at the state_Change_navi() function in navi_php.js you'll see what I was aiming at in there.

Thanks andrey, I'll get my friend to download Opera and try that out later.

EDIT: He just told me it didnt work. He passed over 2 shiny pokemon, and there was no alert.

didn't work? =/
well, did he set up a folder to put the userjs in (tools>preferences>advanced>content>javascript options) and removed the '.txt'?

i guess it was a bit of a stab in the dark, i might give it another try later on

Yeah, I made sure he did install it correctly before reporting it didn't work
